reective surfaces. The shiny surface could reect the beam back at

the operator.

Always turn the laser tool off when not in use. Leaving the tool

on increases the risk of someone inadvertently staring into the laser

beam. Do not attempt to modify the performance of this laser device in any

way. This may result in a dangerous exposure to laser radiation.

Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the tool. If unqualied

persons attempt to repair this product, serious injury may occur. Any repair required on this laser product should be performed only by

qualied service personnel.

Use of other accessories that have been designed for use with other laser tools could result in serious injury.

Do not operate the tool outdoors. Do not place or store tool under extreme temperature conditions.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

never immerse your tool or charger in uid or allow a uid to ow inside them. Corrosive or conductive uids, such as seawater,

certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

To reduce the risk of re, personal injury,

and product damage due to a short circuit,

Applications

Your compact self-leveling cross line laser can be hand-held for

point marking and simple alignment by sight, or it can be used to make a “chalk line” by using the lock mode. It is ideal for the

following applications:

•

Hanging pictures, photos, or artwork on walls

•

Wallpapering and stencil work

•

Framing doors and windows

•

Installing electrical wiring and pipes

•

Mounting wall xtures, electrical outlets, switches and lighting

•

Installing a drop ceiling

•

Painting

•

Installing closets

•

Laying tile and ooring

Charge the Tool

NOTE: The tool is shipped partially charged; charge the battery

before rst use. Recharge the tool for approximately 3 hours after the battery is

exhausted. It is not recommended to recharge the tool for more than 24 hours each time.

a. Insert the USB interface of the USB charging cable into the USB

port of the power supply (not included).

b. Insert the charging plug into

charging port of the tool, making

Fig. 2

Power Supply (not included)

sure that they are properly connected.

c. Connect the power supply

(together with USB charging

cable) to the power outlet (FIG.2)

The LED indicator for battery capacity communicate the charge status during the charging process.

•

The LED indicator for battery capacity ickers red during charging

when the charged battery capacity will allow the tool to be

operated for approximately 30 minutes or less.

•

The LED indicator light ickers yellow during charging to indicate

that the charged battery capacity will allow the tool to be operated

more than 30 minutes but has not reached 90% of full capacity.

•

The LED indicator light ickers green during charging to indicate that the charged battery capacity has reached more than 90% of

full capacity.

•

The LED indicator light steadily shines green when the battery has reached full charge capacity.

Remember to remove the USB charging cable from tool when

charging is complete. NOTE: During normal use, the LED indicator for battery capacity will

illuminate continuously in different colors to indicate approximately how much battery capacity remains.

•

When the LED indicator light illuminates green, it indicates that

the battery charge is more than 40% of full capacity.

•

When the LED indicator light illuminates yellow, it indicates that

the battery charge is less than 40% of full capacity

•

When the LED indicator light illuminates red, it indicates that the

tool can only be operated for approximately 30 minutes before

turning off automatically.

To Turn the Compact Self-Leveling Cross Line Laser On and Off

WARNING

protecting your eyes and the eyes of those around you. Never point the compact self-leveling cross line laser at anyone’s face, including your own.

To turn the compact self-leveling cross line laser on, push the mode

switch in the direction of the unlock icon, or press the laser button when the mode switch is already in the direction of the lock icon.

If the cross line laser is turned on by the mode switch in the direction of

the unlock icon, push the mode switch in the direction of the lock icon

to turn off. If the cross line laser is turned on with the mode switch in the

direction of the lock icon, press the laser button again to turn off.

When turning on the compact self-leveling cross line laser, always be aware of

Self-Leveling Mode (Fig.3)

Your compact self-leveling cross line laser has two working modes:

self-leveling mode and manual leveling mode. In self-leveling mode, the tool will level itself if it is within ±4° of

horizontal.

Place the compact self-leveling cross line laser on a at, smooth

surface that is within ±4° of horizontal. Turn the tool on by sliding the mode switch in the direction of

the unlock icon. The compact self-leveling cross line laser will

automatically level within 6 seconds. If the surface on which the compact self-leveling cross line laser is

placed exceeds ±4° from horizontal, the laser line will blink as an

alarm and the LED indicator for leveling status will illuminate in red. In this event, adjust the angle of the surface slightly.

To turn off the laser lines, slide the mode switch in the direction of

the lock icon.

Fig. 3

Manual Leveling Mode

Keep the mode switch in the lock icon position and press the laser button to turn on the laser. The laser lines are now locked and are

no longer self-leveling. NOTE: In this mode, the LED indicator for leveling status will always

illuminate in red; the laser lines are projected continuously and will not blink, even if the slope angle exceeds 4°.

Press the laser button again to turn off the laser.

DOE (Diffractive Optical Elements) Application (For Model LL932401 Only)

The tool is capable of projecting cross line lasers with equidistant scales through DOE application in both self-leveling and manual leveling modes, which will offer better assistance when hanging

pictures, photos, or artwork on

walls, etc. (FIG.4)

Fig. 4

When the tool is moved relative to the target surface, the lengths and scales of the cross line lasers will vary with the straight distance from the tool to the target surface and will be enlarged when the straight distance is increased. (FIG.5)

Fig. 5

Target Surface

NOTE: To ensure that the scales of the cross line lasers are equidistant in both self-leveling and manual leveling modes, aim the

cross line lasers onto the target surface vertically; otherwise they

will not be equidistant. (FIG.6)

Fig. 6

Target Surface

No NoYes

“Yes”- equidistantly “No”-un-equidistantly

Yes

NOTE: Keep the tool to within ±4° from horizontal in the self-leveling

mode, otherwise the laser line will blink.

Using With the Clamp

The highly versatile clamp easily attaches to a variety of surfaces to improve the utility of the tool, such as for use when mounted on a water pipe, banister, edge of table, etc.

Mount the tool to the 1/4” screw platform on the clamp and secure

the clamp to a pole, pipe or other suitable item (FIG.7).

Fig. 7

NOTE: Either of the mounting holes on top and bottom side of the

tool may be mounted to the 1/4” screw platform of the clamp. (FIG.7)

Loosen the knob. Adjust the 1/4” screw platform to the desired

position and adjust the orientation of the rod so that the laser beam

projects to your target. After adjustment, tighten knob. (FIG.8)

Fig. 8
